best safe investments?

Question

what is the best investment that pays ten percent or more compound, that is reletively safe if not touched.

Answer 1

yea right exxon and just announced this week from Comrade Pelosi and her commiecrat party reversal of the tax breaks on Big Oil. Nice pick there swifty.

There are no "safe investments" with that high of a compound interest. online banks have five some cd's have 5.7 but no 10's.

Answer 2

It depends on what do you consider safe? Personally, I think if you could make 7% a year. Guaranteed, I'd take that. I think that real estate appreciates around 5% a year over the long haul. That doesn't count the fact that its not a guaranteed investment, requires maintenance and will cost you money while you own it. So theoretically, I'd go with the 7% "safe investment". People get excited about real estate when they see it double in a couple years. They don't take into account that it was flat for 10-20 years without doing anything at all. Some areas even longer than that. Real estate isn't a sure thing but if you have the time to devote to it, it does have a chance of making more money but I'd look for trends in real estate before buying. It's just not as safe as some other investments and it's definately not as liquid.

I think the best investment right now is by far the Foreign Currency Exchange Market, also known as the Forex. Where else can one earn interest on up to 400 times his or her money? And not only earn interest on, but place trades using that amount as well, with no assets or credit checks. The banks have known this secret for years, this is where they produce a large percentage of their income. But, not until about 1998 was it really introduced to the public, thanks be to the internet. There is only one problem though, 95% of people lose their money within the first 60 days. I was searching for a way to invest in the Forex, but eliminate the guesswork, and eliminate sitting in front of the computer all day. I came across FreedomRocks, and it truly was one of a kind. I have been using the system now for about 3 months, and I have averaged a 34% return monthly. The system does 95% of the work, and it only takes about 20-30 minutes per week to manage a portfolio of any size. This is not a $3,000 software, sold on late night infomercials, that still leaves you in the dark, it's completey one of a kind. FreedomRocks has the biggest Forex brokers in the industry fighting for their business. The best part is anyone can try the system for free and it only takes about 25 minutes to begin live, risk free, trading.

Answer 4

An Equity Indexed Annuity. You get the unlimited gain of the s & P 500, average was 13% this year without the risk of loss. You are guaranteed not to lose a penny if you do not cash out for 8 years. If the S & P does poorly and everyone out there loses in the stock market you wont! When the market is good then you start to gain from your balance, not from your loss balance like everyone else.

Anyone who answers stocks and mutual funds must have missed the word relatively safe!

Answer 5

I'll tell you, I think Exxon is a great investment. It's doubled over the past five years and it pays a dividend. It always seems to go up more than 10% every year. All those SUVs and gas guzzlers on the road mean they'll be in business for a long time to come. They also have a dividend reinvestment plan where you can send them the money directly ($250 to start, $50 or more anytime after), and there are no fees to buy their stock from them, and they reinvest the dividends. You should look into it.

Answer 6

China Mobile (CHL). Growth in population in China as well as expanding economy make this sleeping giant a perfect play. The stock is $43 with a forward p/e of 17 and pays a 4% divvy. China is one of the best economies in the world right now. All our jobs are going there.

So you not only get the POPULATION growth, you also get ECONOMIC growth as well!!

CHL has 1 billion in potential new customers. It's also hedge against the falling dollar. Chinese people often don't have computers so the phone they buy will be their access to the Internet. Google and CHL just inked a deal that let's CHL suscribers get on the internet via phones.

China hosting 2008 Olympics. Gonna send stocks there higher.

CHL is a monopoly that is protected by the Chinese government. CHL is also the industry leader with 65% market share. Superb balance sheet. It's stock price is trading at a discount to its growth rate.

China is where the growth is right now, you want to be in this stock. By 2010, this stock will double and you get the divvy to boot.


Also, try the Greater China Fund (GCH). They invest directly in Chinese companies. It's another great play, but not as good as CHL.
